Monster Cable HDMI 1000HD

Having purchased a new high-end Blu-Ray 3D-capable DVD Player, I thought it appropriate to upgrade my old, first-generation, HDMI cables to these current high quality HD cables from Monster. I do not regret the expense, as I can clearly see a difference in video clarity between the older HDMI cables and this new set that have been designed to maximize current HD and 3D technologies. If one has low or mid-level quality A/V components, the high-end capabilities of these cables may be of no consequence, and lower priced/lower quality HDMI cables may suffice. But if you use high-end A/V equipment as I do, these cables are quite indispensable, as the sound from speakers and the video on an HD Display can only be as good as the connecting cables permit. I highly recommend these or similar quality HDMI cables to all who operate expensive, high-end A/V systems.,

Pros:All good! See the Product Research Team's review and information at Crutchfield.com rather than relying solely on Monstercable.com for technical details.

Cons:None. Contrary to the often heard criticism that Monster products are overpriced and that you pay premium prices in large part for the name brand rather than better technology, I find Monster Cable and Monster Power products to in fact be of higher quality and capabilities than other brands carried by most local stores. For some, price may be a negative factor--and by all means stay within a reasonable budget--but if you can afford them, these HDMI cables are worth every penny.

Good cable, hope it is worth the money!

This is my first HDMI cable so I really don't have another one to compare it to. However I am familiar with Monster Cable and I do like their products. I don't need such a high-end cable for my current application, but realize I will in the future as I upgrade my gear, so I just went ahead and bought an expensive one now. The real question is, is it worth the money? I really don't know although I do believe cables can make a difference and I believe in getting the absolute best performance out of my gear.

Pros:Well-made high-quality cable that hopefully does what it is supposed to do

I'm a believer. It's not just a matter of "0's and 1's'.

There 'IS' a difference in HDMI cables. I bought a new Blu-ray player, hooked everything up with an older HQ monster HDMI cable, and then went to watch a movie with 7.1 channel uncompressed audio with a 1080i picture (Yes, I need a new TV). The audio was cutting out and the picture would not show. Imagine how upset I was. I thought at first that the BD player was bad and needed to be sent back. Then I searched the forums and read about trying higher spec cables. I took a chance and ordered a new MC HDMI cable that was rated for much higher throughput. Crutchfield delivered it the next day (bravo). Audio was now all there (and sounded awesome) and the picture was back. Remember that I was only pushing 1080i. So clearly the cable was saturated with the new higher resolution sound formats from Blu-ray. So do yourself a favor and buy a cable that is rated for what you are pushing through the cable. If you plan on using your optical or coax cable instead of HDMI for lower rez sound or do not have a 1080p TV, then go ahead and buy a less expensive, but quality made, cable. But if you plan on getting the most from Blu-ray (both audio and video) then spend the extra money. I don't know of too many other companies that will give you a lifetime upgrade waranty if you need more throughput in the future, or need newer features currently not supported. Kudos to crutchfield for offering a discound when buying other gear.

Monster Products

Written By Robert, Wheat Ridge, Colorado on Saturday, May 09, 2009

Monster products are the only products I use. I have an Sony XBR5 & XBR8 I use monster Ultra High Speed HDMI cables for both TVs, as well as my Directv to my A/V Recievers then to the HD/LCD TVs. My newest is a RX-V3900 Yamaha, I added to my other 2 Yamaha Recievers. Plus I use the surge protection by Monster the MTS 1000 (4) of them. If you want proformance for high end home electonics. Then there is only one product to consider MONSTER.

Monster 1000HD

Seems to be the best cable made. Unlike earlier HDMI cables, it's relatively flexible which helps with managing hook ups. I'm not sure if it makes an enormous difference - but at least if there's an issue with my DTV signal - which happens - I know it's not my cable. Expensive piece of mind but worth it.

Monster 1000HD

You get what you pay for. I upgraded to the 1000HD from a generic HDMI. I now have a super picture quality and it eliminated video lock up random pixels. My only dissapointment is that I did not but it longer.

monster fun

I have purchased several Monster cables from Crutchfield. These cables are without question the finest I have owned. There is no hiss, absolutely no interference of any kind gets through these monster cables, just sound, pure unadulterated joyous musical sound. The video is equally impressive. It's soundtracks put you in the frame. Georgeous sound quality.

Good Product

Written By Pete, Rochester, NY on Tuesday, January 27, 2009

Although I do not believe these cables should be priced so high, I do believe they make a difference. When you spend a large amount on the other components you have, TV, receiver, etc.... why connect them with an inferior cable. This component really counts when you reach the limits of the capability of all of your equipment. They shine when watching a movie like Dark Knight on blu ray with the True HD audio coming through your receiver. You wont see much difference if you are comparing two cables with a questionable signal from your cable provider in 720p or 1080i because any cable can transmit that with no problem. The proof will come when you put it to the test with a high quality signal. If none of this mattered then every stereo component and tv would look and sound the same, after all they are just a conglomeration of wires and electronic components but it is the quality of that wiring and componentry and how it is assembled that makes one piece better than another. Do your self a favor if you love superior surround sound and picture quality and buy the good cable.

Future Proof

These cables are ahead of their time, i.e. current technology does not need the performance of these cables, but in the near future the difference will become much more apparent. And if the future ever exceeds their ability, Monster will replace your cables for free. So in retrospect, if you spend a little more now, you will never spend anymore money.

Not worth it for the cost

I recently purchased 2 of these cables and out of curiosity purchased 2 other HDMI cables costs only one-third the price. I have read and also experimented with many such cables from Monster, and others, but I have ended up paying a lot more than I had to. But the quality of these cables is good and what I hate about them is the cost and marketing hype.

So to continue the experiment, I placed my TV in PIP mode so I can watch 2 at the same time but there is only one audio. From video point of view there is hardly any difference whether you play DVDs, Blu Ray, home recorded camcorders, regular HD TV. From Audio perspective only if you have a home theater there is some slight difference which can be noticed by very few. So I decided to continue to keep these 2 cables and purchased additional ones at one-third the cost.

Please educate yourself before we fall into the hands of high-pitch sales people....There are very technical and simple articles on the subject of HDMI cables - save money and there is no need to spend more....

Yes, It DOES Matter

I have been to other people's houses before with nice HDTV setups but with average wiring. Their HDTV picture looked really good but it seemed to
be just missing that little extra to make it great. So when I finally decided to take the plunge into HDTV, there was no way I was going to skimp on anything, or let anything short-change my large investment. So I decided to use 1000HD's to hook up my DirecTV HD-DVR receiver and my Sony S350 blu-ray player to my Sony Bravia 37XBR6. Let me tell you, the picture pops like no other HD picture I've seen anywhere else. Even when people come over that have HDTV setups of their own and they look at mine they remark about how great it looks. I can't honestly say it's got 100% to do with the cables, but when you see other people's home setups with what you would consider similar performing equipment and one of the major differences is 1000HD wiring vs. brand X wiring, and when they see your picture they like it better than theirs, I think it hints at the possibility that these cables ARE a difference maker. Everyone is free to spend as much or as little as they want and draw their own conclusions, but I think at least in my case, seeing is believing, and I'm a believer.

Worth the investment

We recently purchased a Samsung 46" 1080 HDTV, model #650, that the cable company had hooked up with regular component cables to receive digital and hi-def channels. We thought the picture quality was good. However, after connecting the Monster cable, which was a breeze, we noticed how much crisper the picture & color looked. Would DEFINITELY recommend this product, especially if you have a high end TV.

For HD Worth it

Written By Jeffrey, Atlanta, GA on Saturday, September 13, 2008

First off I would like to state that I am an engineer and deal considerably with embedded and digital systems. It is true that in digital you are only dealing with 1's and 0's, but also know that you are dealing with physics as applied to those signals as well.

I upgraded from a 32" LCD television to an 60" Plasma and had to subsequently upgrade other items as well including cabling. I have invested considerable money in my home theater and there is one area where all that money can be in vain: the cables. I actually got three of these, one for the DirecTV, one for the BluRay and the other for the out to TV. There is a considerable difference as the digital image is, as specified in other reviews, sent to the television and other components extremely quickly.

One thing to keep in mind here is that these cables are also sending audio signals as well as video signals, and some of the HDMI cables I was researching did not support 7.1 full surround and some did not even list support for 5.1 (i.e. cheaper store brand). The audio sent through this cable is lossless and pristine (192 kHz/24-bit; Dolby TrueHD & DTS-HD for BluRay), something which is a must if you have good drivers (which tend to magnify any problems within your system).

Bottom line is if you are wanting HD on your home theater setup then use quality cabling. You do not necessarily need the Ultra 1000D series depending on size of tv, but you should do some research before coming to a decision.

Not all cable is equal

Written By Jack, Williamsburg, VA on Wednesday, July 09, 2008

I've used cheaper HDMI cable than Monster's and cannot honestly say that I see or hear a difference in audio or video quality. What I really like about Monster is that it is a much more flexible cable which make the component connections so much more stable. The stiffness of the lower-priced cables cause offset and strain at the connector points. The Monster plugs feel much more secure. For me, the flexibility and snug connections are well worth the additional cost.

Monster Cables

Monster cables are simply the best cables to hook up any electronics. I use Monster cables on my Home entertainment center and the sound and video are amazing. HDMI Cables are new to me so i didnt know one from another. My Direct TV Recievers came with HDMI Cables and the sound and picture quality wera good, But then i remembered what a great job Monster Cables did on other electronics. So i purchased the Monster HDMI Ultra high speed 1000 HD HDMI Cables , need i say more. These cables improved the sound and video to the next level. They are a little pricey but they were well worth every penny.

WOW!!!

Written By Scott, Ft Worth, TX on Wednesday, February 20, 2008

I used to think the same as everybody else, "It's a digital signal, you can't change 0's and 1's, so I am buying the cheapest cable I can find!" Well let me tell ya, it's not neccesarily about the digital signal but the speed of that signal. Think of it this way, remember dial-up internet service? Remember how it would take anywhere between 30 seconds and 30 minutes to load a page, and how one part of the page would load and then a picture, and so on? But now, with broadband internet the entire page comes up at once. Relate that to high-speed HDMI cables, the faster the digital signal can get to your HD TV, the better it will look.

I previously owned a "Big Box" store brand HDMI, and it made 3 different HD TV's pixelate. Well, I no longer own that cable, and now have this one, and it is 200% better. As far as price goes, yeah its $100 for a cable that is slightly longer than your arm, but when buying a $2000 - $5000 HD TV, why skimp out on the cable? Also, with Monster's Lifetime Warranty and "Cable for Life" replacement policy, how can you lose?

Overpriced

It's pretty and it works, but then again so does any digital cable. After all, it's only carrying ones and zeros.

However there is one thing that should be addressed. This not only is directed to Monster, but all those companies that use over-packaging. These bulky heavy plastic housings that are so difficult to open and hardly fall into the "Green" category.

On a lighter note, Crutchfiled is the best company with whom I have ever dealt. They don't do every thing perfectly, but in the end you could not purchase from a better vendor. Therefore, they get five stars.

Unnecessary

Written By Sawdy, San Jose Ca. on Monday, February 04, 2008

Great quality cable but over priced. All you need is any HDMI cable that adheres to HDMI 1.3a standard.
But some people think that the quality on their audio/video system is directly in proportion to what they spent on it.
